Hi, recently my mouse has started acting strange, moving the cursor wont be perfectly accurate, it'll almost wobbles, this issue occurs frequently.

Also every so often (not all the time) the mouse wont be able to move in certain directions, I'll only be able to move in up to down and not left to right or only slight in those directions.I own a Velocity micro mouse which came with the computer. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

The issue I'm having with the mouse doesnt seem to happen all the time and it usually corrects itself after I restart the computer but when it does it occur it's very annoying and frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated
 
sounds like time for a new mouse
mice are one of the few parts of a PC so cheap if it acts up just get a new one
 
Thanks for the response. I was thinking of getting a new mouse but I want to be 100 percent sure that the issue is due to the mouse and not something else.

You don't have a spare to test it with? Can you borrow one? I've got several I've gotten as freebies floating around, although I use a $100 Kensington trackball as my main squeeze. But if it died, I wouldn't be completely out of pocket.

I'll tell you a semi-funny story about cheap peripherals. My husband declared his keyboard dead and he took his frustrations out on it and completely destroyed it and ripped it apart.

This led to an emergency trip to Staples to pick up a new keyboard. When we got it home and hooked it up, the new keyboard didn't work, either.

Turns out he had been using an extension cord for the keyboard and the connection at the back of the case had gotten loose. He had checked the connection on the extension but neglected to check the source of the plug-in. He destroyed a perfectly good keyboard for nothing, although I suppose it made him feel better at the time. :p

The cheapo Logitech he bought that night was eventually replaced with something better, neither of us really cared for it because it was rather "clanky" feeling. He wanted to get rid of it, but I insisted we keep it as a spare just because you never know when you might need one. What if you accidentally spill soda or beer on your keyboard? :)
 
thanks guys, I've decided to purchase a new mouse. what would you guys recommend? cordless or corded? If I went with cordless I'd like it to last atleast a week on a charge. Here's 2 mice that I'm looking at purchasing, one of them is cordless and the other is corded, which one would you recommend? Logitech G5 or the Logitech MX Revolution
 
ive got an mx revolution. i love it. id never go corded again unless i had no choice. and i love the ergonomics. never had any charging issues either.
 
I ended up purchasing a Logitech G5 mouse and so far I'm not having any issues. It seems much better then my previous mouse :)
